Proxy rated quality of life (QoL) might mislead the interpretation of QoL of older people. This cross-sectional survey evaluated the reliability and feasibility of using newly developed self-reported QoL items for older adults (≥75 years) receiving home care services. Of the distributed questionnaires, 60.34 % (875/1450) were returned with valid responses in at least one of the QoL items. The largest number of missing data was five cases per question, and the intraclass correlation ranged from 0.47 to 0.77. Furthermore, 66.0 % of those aged 85-94 years, 76.4 % of those with heart failure, and 50 % of those with a terminal medical condition responded to the QoL items. The newly developed items capture the essential aspects of older people's lives and were found to be reliable and feasible for use by older people, including those with terminal conditions, dementia, and a high degree of dependency.
代理评定的生活质量（QoL）可能会误导对老年人生活质量的解读。这项横断面调查评估了使用新开发的自我报告生活质量项目来评估接受居家护理服务的老年人（≥75岁）的可靠性和可行性。在分发的问卷中，60.34%（875/1450）的问卷在至少一项生活质量项目中得到了有效回复。每个问题缺失数据最多为5例，组内相关系数范围为0.47至0.77。此外，85 - 94岁的受访者中有66.0%、心力衰竭患者中有76.4%以及患有终末期疾病的患者中有50%对生活质量项目做出了回应。新开发的项目涵盖了老年人生活的基本方面，并且被发现对于老年人，包括患有终末期疾病、痴呆症和高度依赖他人的老年人来说是可靠且可行的。
